Graves' disease is the type of hyperthyroidism caused by a generalized overactivity of the entire thyroid gland. It is also called "diffuse toxic goiter": "diffuse" because the entire thyroid gland is involved in the disease process; "toxic" because the patient appears hot and flushed, as if feverish due to an infection; and "goiter" because the thyroid gland enlarges in this condition. 3
Graves' disease is the most common type of hyperthyroidism.
